The song “Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend” has been around for well over 50 years and the lyrics still hold true today. Women love diamonds, whether on diamond bracelets or diamond engagement rings. It’s just that simple. It often doesn’t matter how big or how small they are, it’s just the fact that you got them for us that makes us happy. Men take heed; if you want to impress the woman in your life – buy her diamonds. It doesn’t matter if you’re buying a gift for your mother’s birthday or your sweetheart’s newest promotion at work; diamonds are always a suitable gift.

One of the most sustainable yet beautiful jewelry purchases is a set of diamond stud earrings. They are classic and stylish and can be worn with just about anything. (That’s important to most women, just ask us.) Often, a woman that is wearing diamond earrings will have an extra pep in her step and will most definitely show them off to her friends. Buying her diamond earrings will definitely elevate your status in their eyes and hers, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing!

Just so you know, you don’t have to break the bank to get a nice set of diamond earrings. Just by doing a little research you can find a great set within your budget, whatever that might be. Most diamonds are graded by using the four C’s – cut, clarity, color and carat size. Understanding those considerations can go a long way in helping you pick out the perfect pair of earrings.

A diamond’s cut is used to show off its brilliance. A well cut diamond will reflect light and can have a dazzling effect, even if it’s small. A diamond’s clarity is judged by how many flaws that it has. Many flaws are not even visible to the naked eye but some are and can affect the way a diamond reflects light. The less flaws that are present usually results in higher levels of clarity.  It also might reflect in a higher cost, but who cares? This is a diamond that we’re talking about!

A diamond’s color should also be considered. Most people want the most colorless diamond they can get. Carat size is another import factor. That is the actual weight of the diamond. Bigger is not always better. In fact, a smaller diamond that is colorless and cut correctly can actually be more expensive than a larger diamond that has flaws. So look around a little bit and don’t just buy the first pair you come across. (Unless you’re in big trouble and desperately need the earrings because you forgot her birthday.)

Now that you’re armed with all of this knowledge, go forth and use it. It doesn’t matter if you’re buying right hand rings, solitaire diamond rings, cheap engagement rings, pre set engagement rings, vintage engagement rings or pearl necklaces with diamonds, the basic principles still apply. High quality diamonds make a wonderful gift, even if there’s no special occasion. There is a reason that the song “Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend” has withstood the test of time. Simply put, it’s true. Ask any woman you know, she’ll likely tell you the same thing.

However, women aren’t the only ones that like fine jewelry.  While you’re out shopping for jewelry for that special someone, don’t forget to treat yourself too.  There are some even some men’s watches, such as Bulova watches, that have diamonds too.  Why not find one to compliment the new piece of jewelry that you purchased for your sweetheart?
